okay.... I got the GUI computer going again. So I type in:
pico /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Ignore that. This is LFS. It's your distro, not Debian's. It is true
that if you reload another version of Debian, it will overwrite grub.cfg
(instead of asking), so make a backup if you are going to do that.
I inspected the two files it mentions to see if there was an obvious way to
add:
menuentry "GNU/Linux, Linux 3.13.3-lfs-7.5" {
linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.3-lfs-7.5 root=/dev/sda2 ro
}
but I didn't see one. (I am thinking I need to change the '/dev/sda2' to
'.../sda6' because that is the partition I put lfs on)
Yes, that's what the book says.
Maybe I should do a boot partition.
Useful, but not necessary. You just need to know which partition grub
checks to find grub.cfg.
